11/28/10 The morning started about the same as the previous mornings with hearing Tommy getting breakfast ready. I enjoy this sound much more then I do the annoying and load birds that woke me up every morning on Magnetic Island. After breakfast they said if anyone wanted they could go swimming and I decided not too. I got a nice little sunburn on my stomach from yesterday and the boat was completely out of water. We were instructed to take 1 minute showers ...

11/27/10 At a little before 7 am Tommy started to get the breakfast ready in the kitchen. This means it was time for me to wake up since I was sleeping on a padded bench located almost in the kitchen.

She ended up finding me special fares for the greyhound bus and also a package deal to sail the Whitsunday Islands sailing trip for two nights and al...

11/24/10 This day was pretty chill all around. I woke up early with the darn birds being crazy loud once again and I did not want to get out of bed this morning. I finally got going and decided that I should force myself on a bit of a run. My feet have been hurting me with cuts and such that do not seem to want to heal.
